The service was fantastic. The food was mediocre. I had the paradise tacos. The filling was good but the flour tortillas was very odd tasting. Like there was an ingredient that should have not been added. My daughter had the regular fish tacos and she said the same thing. Their sweet potato fries were awesome but the beans and rice were too spicy. Nice atmosphere but I don't think I will be going back anytime soon.
Gilligan's is always there with a cold beverage for a thirsty Villager. You can sit open air or inside in the darker interior, if you like some low light to sip by. The live entertainment is always decent to good. There are plenty of restroom choices that are fairly clean. A good time is always had at Gilligan's.
We had an excellent late dinner at Gilligan's. My wife and I were on vacation with our kids and my extended family. We were fortunate enough to get an evening out after the kids were in bed (My mom staying with them) for a little bit of dinner and a drink or two. We were greeted right away and seeded near the bar area where the music was playing. Our server Holly took our order and promptly returned with waters and our drinks that we had ordered. The bar seemed fairly busy and with that in mind we were expecting a slower service however we were very pleasantly surprised when she returned shortly after giving us our drinks and taking our food orders. Our food arrived promptly so we enjoyed our meals and finished our drinks. Holly was sure to check in with us throughout the meal to be sure we had everything we needed. We were not able to stay for a longer period as we had to get back to the kids and so we thanked the manager and our server and went back to our condo. One of the things that stood out to me while sitting at dinner was that it seemed like the entire section we were sitting in was all very happy and well taken care of from the friendly staff. Will visit again when we are back in Siesta Key.
Cool Gilligan island feel and great food that's tasty. Great for the whole family. Prices are decent. After your done take a walk around the area to see other happenings. Park in the back of restaurant on busy days.
We come to Gillian’s every year while we are vacationing in Siesta Key! Food is always good, service is always great! This time, our server Jazz went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and everything we needed for a great dinner! We definitely will be back!
